One of the lactation consultants gave me this recipe during our hospital stay after I delivered Little Brother. I made them within a couple days of coming home.

I saw a post about the book with a recipe over at Chocolate Covered Katie and was intrigued by a cookbook all about superfoods.

I still might have to work a little bit today or tomorrow, but it shouldn't be anything too crazy. I will be very glad when January is over!… Continue reading Oatmeal Bars

Tonight we are enjoying a fantastic spring thunderstorm. It started raining as I was driving home from work, which meant no gardening this evening. Benzo and I made a quick dinner of scrambled eggs, toast and applesauce and settled in to watch last night's 2 hour episode of 24 on Hulu. We didn't get home… Continue reading Buy Me Some Peanuts & Crackerjack
